Yet Experienced.

Thousand Dollar Sale.
GIIlespie's Big Business-White q
Co.'s and ClaytOns & Cummings
Transactions.

The boom which has been working
slowly onward and upward for month
or more past has reached high point
this week, and THE DEMOCRAT is to-day
enabled to report the heaviest weekly
sales vet made in Salt Lake City
FOR SIS, 1000.
The most important of these transac-
tons is the sale of the st. James Hotel
and the corner north of it for
500 900. The property was sold
by the Walker brothers to
syndicate of Colorado capitalists,
whose agent is now in this city, making
heavy purchases. To what use it will be
put is as yet a question, but so fine a
property would hardly be bought at this
stage of the boom for mere specu-
lation. That an immense block OF build
ings or a magnificent hotel will yet
adorn that corner, is among the possiblll-
ties Of the early future.
$3.50 is THE AMOUNT
OF White & Co. s transactions during the
week. The largest sale made by this
firm is that of the old Smith block just
north of Liberty Park for $12 900 to Mr..
